Local Rocks

Ariel Zevon, daughter of rocker Warren Zevon, has opened a year-round farmers market and cafe in Barre, Vermont where organic and locally-grown and produced Vermont products are featured.

Like many towns and small cities across the country, there are no longer supermarkets on Barre's Main Street - they have moved out to the malls with the chain stores. Zevon chose to renovate an old department store, placing her new market right on North Main Street, following her philosophy of keeping things locally focused. Zevon is hoping to create more demand for local products by drawing on the community aspects of supporting locally produced products and food, as well as working directly with farmers to maximize the market for their products.

Visit the Local Agricultural Community Exchange (LACE) at 159 N. Main St., Barre, VT 802-476-4276; www.lacevt.org. LACE is closed on Mondays.

About Me

Welcome! to the Holistic Health Guides. "Complementary" and "alternative", now mainstream terms, place these health care modalities in relation to allopathic medicine rather than standing on their own as they have for millennia.
Holistic Health better defines the guiding principles of the healing modalities represented in this blog and in the practitioner listings found in the directory on the Holistic Health Guide Web site—those which address the whole person rather than separate parts and take into consideration the body, mind and spirit.
It is easy to become overwhelmed by all the different modalities, techniques and information found in natural and holistic health. Keep in mind that there are common threads which include: working with the body, mind and spirit as a whole being; viewing the whole as an energetic being and doing work that harmonizes and balances that energy; and emphasizing the use of natural, non-invasive therapies.
